I've enjoyed using ProDiscover IR for a number of years now, to the point of using FTK Imager to convert EnCase .E0x files to dd format (which, apparently, I would no longer need to do) in order to open the case in ProDiscover. PD uses Perl as its scripting language, which for me, really rocks! The interface for PD 5 hasn't seen any radical changes, which is good...firing it up for the first time, I saw a lot of the familiar settings, with some additions of new ones, particularly the Email Viewer.
